Switching EDI providers feels risky - especially when you're growing fast and managing major retail partnerships. For Caraway Home, a fast-growing home goods brand, that leap became unavoidable when their legacy provider couldn’t keep up. Delays of up to 12 weeks to onboard trading partners, clunky interfaces, and unclear communication left their team struggling to manage EDI during a critical growth period. "We started looking for a partner that could move at the same speed as our business," explains Mark Riskowitz, VP of Operations at Caraway Home. The turning point came when they upgraded their ERP. Rather than patching together solutions, the premium cookware brand saw the opportunity to make a clean break and embrace a modern approach to EDI. Not only did Caraway maintain all their existing retail relationships, but they also onboarded Home Depot in just 10 days post-switch. Their lean team now manages EDI partnerships more efficiently than ever, with proactive support handling technical challenges before they become problems. If you're feeling stuck with legacy EDI but worried about the risks of switching - you're not alone. But as Caraway shows, sometimes the biggest risk is staying put.

Management Trainee @ TM International Logistics Ltd | MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Previously in our series ABC of logistics and Supply Chain we came across terms such as : AWB, BL, Break Bulk, Cross Docking, Cycle Time, DC, Demurrage. Now as we move forward to letter E we have with us E-commerce, EDI, EOQ and ERP. E-commerce has revolutionized the way we shop. It relies heavily on efficient logistics to deliver products quickly and reliably. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of business documents between companies. It streamlines processes like purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices. Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is like finding the perfect order size for your business. It's about figuring out how much stuff to order at once to save money. Order too much, and you waste money on storage. Order too little, and you spend too much on placing orders. EOQ helps you strike the right balance to keep costs low. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is like a central command centre for a business. It's software that helps manage all the different parts of a company, from finance and HR to sales and inventory. #logistics #supplychain #Ecommerce #Electronic_data_interchange #Economic_Oder_Quantity #Enterprise_Resource_Planning

ERPNext || Payable Accountant @Nakheel || Accountant || Bookkeeper || Yardi Accountant || UAE VAT Certified || QuickBooks ||
**** Deduction of Charges - ERPNext **** A company is selling its products on an e-commerce platform, which deducts a 10% fee from each invoice generated. For example, if a sales order amounts to $100, the e-commerce platform will deduct a 10% fee, resulting in a net amount of $90 for the company. In ERPNext, I want to apply this scenario when creating sales invoices. However, I have created a 10% charges template, but instead of deducting this amount from the sales invoice, it is adding 10% to the total. How can I adjust this to properly reflect the deduction? Share your thoughts.

How much does your ERP care about you heading into BFCM? - Did they ask you about when your running your sales? - Did they ask you about your targets and expected volumes? - Did they ask you about who the critical contacts are at your 3PL? - Did they ask you about how things went last year and what feels different this year? - Did they ask you if you had updated your standard operating procedures? - Did they ask you when your temporary warehouse staff is starting and what their shift schedules look like? - Did they ask if you're working with any new carriers? - Did they ask you to preload your carrier accounts with sufficient funds to avoid delays at your packing stations? - Did they ask if you were doing any new or big product drops this year? - Did they ask if you had any new sales channels you're experimenting with this year? - Did they ask what you were worried about most this year? Did anyone care enough to ask you: "What would be 1 thing we could do towards making a difference in your success this year?" Well, they should've. Because we did, and these are just a handful of questions that we asked our merchants heading into BFCM. It's our job to find out. At Fulfil, we understand our merchants are counting on us and the stakes are high right now; it's a responsibility we don't take lightly. This shopping season, it's okay to expect more from your ERP. #love4yourERP #shipfaster
